Added Windows 7 option, since Vista is depracted now (was it ever a production system? ;p).

Arch Linux for my amd64 work station. It is amazingly stable for a rolling release. Mozilla Firefox security updates usually show up within several days of their release. Frequent updates could be a potential problem but in practice problems are rare and minor. Overall maybe 3-4 problems with updates per year and maybe only one per year that needs more than another update to fix. It is also great to see what is happening with Open Source development. For those that need greater stability, an LTS kernel is available

I have some older Via C3 CPU based systems and use Slackware (i486) and keep at least one OpenBSD system to have something different and to backup the Arch system.

FreeBSD on the Sunblade 1000 that is working. The other needs a switch.
The rest....
Working on the G4 to multiboot BSDs.
Trying NetBSD on the G3.
For the others, I've ran my chops enough for people to know.

I used to bounced between Linux distros mainly Ubuntu,OpenSuSe,Gentoo,Slackware and FreeBSD and PC-BSD before I tried OpenBSD and I never looked back.
Most linux distros getting too bloated and not to mention the constant
security updates, there still some good ones (Gentoo, Arch,Slackware...)

I like the simplicity, security, speed and the fact the BSD likes are developed and built as a whole OS (centralized). Everything else is add on,not like linux where everything is blended together.

Far as gaming and Flash...I can live without it. (there is always trade off)

OpenBSD 4.8 on my laptop and netbook. FreeBSD8.1 on one desk@home, NetBSD5.1 on another desk@home. OpenBSD on another SPARC rig that I got for free. Sorcerer (Linux)/FreeBSD dual boot on my primary office desk. My own version of a minimal OpenSolaris based distro on my second office desk.
